Worth Waiting For

 

Honey and I have one flower bed that consists of a few little statues and just over a dozen Oriental Lilies.  

This year we bought a few more to add to our collection.  

When I bought the one above, it had green closed buds - no way to guess the color, or, for that matter, the size.  This thing is huge.  Most of our Asiatic Lilies are about 3 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter, this beauty is over 7!
